Nice little article.

Another personal suggestion in this vein: The Queue by Vladimir Sorokin (trans. Sally Laird), which consists entirely of unattributed dialogue. It's challenging at first but once you get a feel for the rhythm and start recognizing characters by how they speak, it becomes a really charming read.

Let me add also Blindness by José Saramago, it has pages-long paragraphs and sentences, characters have no names just descriptions… it’s surprising at first but not hard to get into. Amazing book!

I also recommend "Death with Interruptions" by the same author. I too was blindsided by how it was written but once you get used to the style it just flows.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy is like that. It's best read in the pit of a cold winter.

Much of the dialogue is between father and son, so the dialogue is easy to keep track of. It is a great book for the bleak days of winter. Easily one of the most devastating endings to a book.

Great book.

And a counter point, Blood Meridian by the same author. Extremely difficult for no reason whatsoever. Terrible book.
